The mission of the Mindfulness in Law Society is to enhance well-being in the legal profession by educating legal professionals about the benefits of mindfulness meditation, yoga, and other contemplative practices.

Our distinguished and esteemed chapter 😉 was formed in March 2023 and is headed by the illustrious Kara Perry and the luminous Joseph Gerstel. Kara is a lawyer, adjunct professor, certified yoga and meditation instructor, mindfulness teacher and the founder of Just Brilliant LLC. She has a passion for helping legal professionals reduce stress, increase resilience, and improve decision-making through mindfulness practices. 

Joseph Gerstel is a (sometimes practicing) lawyer and the irreverent author of the Excellent at Life mindfulness newsletter on living a wise life. Joseph also runs a community for lawyer founders/entrepreneurs and is active in the startup ecosystem, running pitch events and other fun programs like that.

We are excited to offer a variety of events and resources to support the integration of mindfulness into the legal profession. Our goal is to create a supportive and friendly space for all legal professionals interested in mindfulness, especially in the New York/New Jersey area, which thankfully includes most of the known world.

If you have any questions or would like to learn more about our chapter, reach out to Kara at karaperry@me.com or Joseph at joseph@excellentatlife.com.

We look forward to connecting with you and achieving instant enlightenment together.

But remember you still have to deal with family...

Kara & Joseph
